TAORMINA, Sicily (AP) – The Latest on the G-7 summit in Taormina, Sicily (all times local):

11:20 a.m.

The chairman of the European Union’s council says he agrees with President Donald Trump that the international community should be “tough, even brutal” on terrorism and Islamic State.

European Council President Donald Tusk said terrorism was one of the main topics between EU officials and Trump during his visit to Brussels, especially in the wake of the Manchester pop concert bombing.

Tusk said that “I totally agreed with him when he said the international community, the G7, the United States, Europe – should be tough, even brutal, with terrorism and ISIS” an acronym for the extremist group fighting in Syria and Iraq.
